World Wrestling Federation / Entertainment (1999–2004)

Bloom debuted on WWF television on the April 11, 1999 episode of Sunday Night Heat, saving Droz from a beating at the hands of Big Bossman.
Bloom was dubbed Prince Albert, the personal tattooist of Droz, and
together they formed a short-lived trio called "The Pierced Pals" with Key.[2] Droz and Albert continued to team together until Droz was paralyzed in October 1999, at which point Albert became the protege of the Big Bossman. The duo separated following the debut of Bull Buchanan, who formed a tag team with the Big Bossman.[6][5][7]

Bloom holds the distinction of wrestling in both the first match on Jakked (against Ken Shamrock) and the last (against Hugh Morrus). He was also known for having a hairy back with the crowd often chanting "Shave Your Back!" during his matches.[9]

In July 2006, following the vacation of the IWGP Heavyweight
Championship by Lesnar, Bloom entered a tournament for the title, losing
to Hiroshi Tanahashi in the tournament final. In August 2006, Bloom took part in the 2006 G1 Climax tournament, losing to Hiroyoshi Tenzan in the semi-finals.

In addition to wrestling for NJPW, Bloom also wrestled for their
affiliate Wrestle Land - as Rusher Road - a member of the Roads stable,
until the brand's closure.

In 2009, after betraying Togi Makabe, Bernard and the rest of GBH
left the stable to join Shinsuke Nakamura and form the new stable known
as CHAOS. Bernard formed the tag team Bad Intentions with CHAOS partner Karl Anderson and together the two of them went on to win the 2009 G1 Climax Tag League, defeating Apollo 55 (Prince Devitt and Ryusuke Taguchi)
in the finals of the tournament on November 1. They went on to
challenge for the IWGP Tag Team Championship, but their match with the
defending champions Team 3D (Brother Ray and Brother Devon) ended in a double countout.[10] In April 2010 both Bernard and Anderson left CHAOS, when the stable turned on them.[11]

Through New Japan's working agreement with Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre,
Bloom did his first tour of Mexico in May 2010 under the ring name
Gigante Bernard. He managed to win six successive Two-out-of-Three Falls
Tag Team matches in two straight falls, before losing his final match
of the tour on June 11 via disqualification.[12] Upon his return to Japan, Bernard and Anderson defeated the teams of Blue Justice Army (Yuji Nagata and Wataru Inoue) and No Limit (Tetsuya Naitō and Yujiro Takahashi) in a three-way elimination match on June 19 to win the IWGP Tag Team Championship.[13]
Bad Intentions made their first successful defense of the IWGP Tag Team
Championship on July 19, defeating the Blue Justice Army and No Limit
in a three-way "Dogfight".[14] In late October Bad Intentions entered the 2010 G1 Climax Tag League,
where, after three wins and two losses, they finished second in their
block. This put them in the semi-finals where, on November 7, they were
defeated by eventual winners Yuji Nagata and Wataru Inoue.[15][16] On January 4, 2011 at Wrestle Kingdom V in Tokyo Dome, Bad Intentions successfully defended the IWGP Tag Team Championship in a three–way match against Beer Money, Inc. (James Storm and Robert Roode) and Muscle Orchestra (Manabu Nakanishi and Strong Man).[17][18]
On May 3, Bad Intentions defeated No Limit to make their seventh
successful IWGP Tag Team Championship defense, tying the record for most
defenses, set by Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Masahiro Chono.[19]

Bad Intentions made their record breaking eight successful IWGP Tag Team Championship defense on June 18 against Pro Wrestling Noah's Takuma Sano and Yoshihiro Takayama, and in the process also became the new GHC Tag Team Champions.[20]
After the main event of the show, Bernard challenged Hiroshi Tanahashi
for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship, but Tanahashi would only accept
the challenge if Bad Intentions could beat him in a match for the IWGP
Tag Team Championship, alongside the mean he just defeated - Hirooki
Goto.[21] On July 3 Bernard and Anderson successfully defended the IWGP Tag Team Championship against Tanahashi and Goto.[22] By winning, Bernard earned an IWGP Heavyweight Championship match against Tanahashi on July 18, but failed.[23]

On July 23, Bad Intentions made an appearance for Pro Wrestling Noah,
making their first successful defense of the GHC Tag Team Championship
against the team of Takeshi Morishima and Yutaka Yoshie.[24]
On September 9, Bad Intentions became the longest reigning IWGP Tag
Team Champions, breaking the previous record of 446 days set by Tenzan
and Chono in 2003. Bad Intentions made their second GHC Tag Team
Championship defense on October 31, defeating Go Shiozaki and Shuhei Taniguchi at a Pro Wrestling Noah event.[25] During New Japan's 2011 G1 Climax Tag League, Bad Intentions suffered their first tag team loss in a year, when they were defeated by the Complete Players (Masato Tanaka and Yujiro Takahashi),[26] but still managed to win their four other matches and advance to the semifinals of the tournament.[27]
On November 6, after defeating the Billion Powers (Hirooki Goto and
Hiroshi Tanahashi) in the semifinals, Bad Intentions was defeated in the
final of the 2011 G1 Climax by the Suzuki Army (Minoru Suzuki and Lance Archer).[28] On November 12, Bad Intentions made their tenth successful IWGP Tag Team Championship defense against Archer and Suzuki.[29]

Return to WWE (2012)

On March 17, 2012, it was reported that Bloom had re-signed with WWE.[32] Bloom publicly denied the signing;[33] however, on the March 19 episode of Raw, he appeared in a video promo under the new ring name Lord Tensai.[34][35] On the March 26 episode of Raw,
another video of Tensai aired. WWE's official website revealed the
translation of one of the sentences to say "Lord Tensai will strike."
and another "Lord Tensai approaches. Beware!"[36]

On the April 2, 2012 editon of Raw, Bloom debuted as Lord Tensai and defeated Alex Riley
as a result of the referee stopping the match. While the match
commentary did make reference to him being a returning WWE Superstar,
there were no specific references made to Bloom's former persona, though
WWE.com did go into more detail. WWE acknowledged that he was formerly
known as A-Train, had went to Japan to compete, and wound up embracing
the Japanese culture.[37]
